Thermal Stress: A Narrow Band Random Load in a Solid Propellant Cylinder.
Abstract
The stresses in a large diameter solid propellant cylinder encased in a steel shell and subjected to random surface temperatures are analyzed. A plane strain elastic solution coupled with random process theory is used to determine the mean and variance of thermal stresses as well as the response to a sinusoidal input temperature in the interior of the cylinder. It is shown that stress components are nearly constant in amplitude at various depths and that the diurnal cycle produces insignificant stress variations.
